The manager of the historic 17th century Wazir Khan mosque in Lahore has been suspended over the shooting of a music video on the shrine's premises, it was reported on Monday.
"The mosque is the holiest place and no one can be allowed to trample upon its sanctity. Whosoever is found responsible will not be spared," Dawn news quoted an official statement from the Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar's office as saying on Sunday.
Pledging that he would not let the sanctity of the mosque be violated under any circumstances, Chief Minister Buzdar ordered that a comprehensive investigation be undertaken and those responsible for the incident identified.
Following a barrage of criticisms, Pakistani actress Saba Qamar, who features in the video, tweeted on Sunday: "Only one sequence was shot in the mosque which was a prologue to the music video featuring a Nikah scene.
Singer Bilal Saeed has issued a video apology:Presenting the first teaser of 'Qubool'???? This is also the only sequence that was shot at the historical Wazir Khan Mosque. It's a prologue to the music video featuring a Nikah scene. It was neither shot with any sort of playback music nor has it been edited to the music track. I won't explain any further as the full video comes out on 11th of August. The BTS video that's making rounds on social media was just a circular movement to click stills for the poster of 'Qubool' depicting a happily married couple right after their Nikah. Hurting or offending anyone or being disrespectful to a holy place is as unimaginable and unacceptable for me as for any decent human being. Despite this if we have unknowingly hurt anyone's sentiments we apologise to you all with all our heart. Love & Peace! #Qubool releasing on 11th of August ???? @bilalsaeed_musicView this post on Instagram
